Stray Cats have added a second London show to their 40th anniversary tour plans.

Singer and guitarist Brian Setzer, bassist Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom will double up at the Eventim Apollo on June 27, following their previously announced show at the venue. Tickets for the new date go on sale at 9am on February 8.

Other stops on the tour include the O2 Academy Birmingham and the O2 Apollo Manchester. Tickets for these dates are already on sale.

After reuniting last year for a handful of US shows, the rockabilly revivalists have also revealed their intentions to put out a new album alongside the tour, their first studio offering since 1993's 'Original Cool'. '40' will feature 12 tracks and was recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville. It's expected to arrive in the spring, though an exact date has not yet been confirmed.

UPDATE March 7: '40' will arrive on May 24. Head below to hear its opening track, Cat Fight (Over A Dog Like Me).
